Microclimate in the Forest, Pasture and City Scenario in Southwest Amazon
Antonucci, B., Neves, G. Z., Andrade, N. L., Aguiar, R. G., Webler, A. D.

The expansion of the agricultural frontier driven by deforestation in the Amazon has promoted the increasing conversion of land use and land cover, where forests are being converted into pastures, and/or, with population growth, giving way to the creation of cities. This transformation in vegetation cover is reflected in the climatic …

Effect of a cold surge event on the scenario of change in land use and cover in the Southwest Amazon
Antonucci, B., Camatta Barbino, G., Reis de Andrade, N. L., Dresch Webler, A.

The conversion of forests alters the microclimate. The entry of polar air masses occurs in South America, but in the Amazon, the effect is different, with temperature drops in winter and convective rains in summer. In this context, the cold surge was characterized in areas with forest, pasture, and urban land cover in the central …

Understanding Water And Energy Fluxes In The Amazonia: Lessons From An Observation‐Model Intercomparison
Restrepo‐Coupe, N., Albert, L. P., Longo, M., Baker, I., Levine, N. M., Mercado, L. M., da Araujo, A. C., Christoffersen, B. O., Costa, M. H., Fitzjarrald, D. R., Galbraith, D., Imbuzeiro, H., Malhi, Y., von Randow, C., Zeng, X., Moorcroft, P., Saleska, S. R.

Tropical forests are an important part of global water and energy cycles, but the mechanisms that drive seasonality of their land-atmosphere exchanges have proven challenging to capture in models. Here, we (1) report the seasonality of fluxes of latent heat (LE), sensible heat (H), and outgoing short and longwave radiation at four …

Do Dynamic Global Vegetation Models Capture The Seasonality Of Carbon Fluxes In The Amazon Basin? A Data‐Model Intercomparison
Restrepo‐Coupe, N., Levine, N. M., Christoffersen, B. O., Albert, L. P., Wu, J., Costa, M. H., Galbraith, D., Imbuzeiro, H., Martins, G., da Araujo, A. C., Malhi, Y. S., Zeng, X., Moorcroft, P., Saleska, S. R.

To predict forest response to long-term climate change with high confidence requires that dynamic global vegetation models (DGVMs) be successfully tested against ecosystem response to short-term variations in environmental drivers, including regular seasonal patterns. Here, we used an integrated dataset from four forests in the Brasil …

What Drives the Seasonality of Photosynthesis Across the Amazon Basin? A Cross-Site Analysis of Eddy Flux Tower Measurements from the Brasil Flux Network
Restrepo-Coupe, N., da Rocha, H. R., Hutyra, L. R., da Araujo, A. C., Borma, L. S., Christoffersen, B., Cabral, O. M., de Camargo, P. B., Cardoso, F. L., da Costa, A. C., Fitzjarrald, D. R., Goulden, M. L., Kruijt, B., Maia, J. M., Malhi, Y. S., Manzi, A. O., Miller, S. D., Nobre, A. D., von Randow, C., Sá, L. D., Sakai, R. K., Tota, J., Wofsy, S. C., Zanchi, F. B., Saleska, S. R.

We investigated the seasonal patterns of Amazonian forest photosynthetic activity, and the effects thereon of variations in climate and land-use, by integrating data from a network of ground-based eddy flux towers in Brazil established as part of the ‘Large-Scale Biosphere Atmosphere Experiment in Amazonia’ project. We found …
